That's caused by packet loss making your viewer think it needs to send the message again. I had the same problem for a while several weeks ago but it went away on its own. Between that and your inability to cross sim borders, I think there's some sort of issue with your connection. Yes, when i say something on some sims i say everything twice, instantaneously there is no delay like you might expect if what i sent was being lost because of a bad connection. It may well have something to do with packet loss, but I doubt it can be at my end since I never had this before yesterdays updates and it is only occurring on a handful of sims. Fingers crossed it clears up on its own.

I am double talking on some sims, but not others since the server udates yesterday. Sometimes it only seems to happen in local other times in Ims too when i am in that sim. I have been told others are having the same problem. Does anyone know of a solution before I put a suport ticket in?

Tiffy Vella Reply to Aethelwine - view message 09-13-2012 12:14 AM It sounds like you're doing the right things...keeping the worn scripts down is the first thing. Try keeping the graphics settings down too. I recently found that using Phoenix's "recommended settings" in the graphics preferences has helped a lot. I wonder if inventory size matters? I've always kept mine just under 20,000 in the belief that it makes crossings easier, but maybe somebody a bit techier can confirm if this has anything to do with it. Sim crossings have been really smooth for me for the last few months, barring one patchy week about a fortnight ago, when many people seemed to be being hit harder than usual. Mine's a Trudeau NY50, and sails really well now I've had a little practise. (I really really really enjoy sailing...can't help mentioning that....grin) If your dock is riiight on a sim border, you may like to motor out rather than sail right away, just to get out and over that first icky crossing. ------------------------ Intersting thought it might have to do with inventory size. My inventory is 53,000 items... I keep pruning it, but I shop and i build... and well I have a lot of stuff i want to keep. I always motor out of the harbour, it has never occurred to me to try to sail out. My parcel is to East of blake sea and wind is always blowing from that direction, so I don't always put my sail up at all! I have just been a passenger on a friends boat on the blake sea. I alone got booted off the boat on one crossing. On another the boat went sailing off into the sky booting us all off the boat. We maybe made 2 crossings, and each of those was rough.

/me Waves back to Dillon Well I am pleased if this server update is supposed to help this issue, but I am not noticing any improvement. Encouraged by responses to this thread I put my bikini and short on and rezzed my yacht again. First attempt to leave the harbour to open sea, I am unseated but not unseated unable to teleport stand up or navigate, eventually sl tells me I am disconnected. I restart and try again. Second time crossing the sim boundary to leave the harbour firestorm closes down and crashes on me. I log back in and yay I am just the other side of the boundary standing on my boat I have made the sim crossing. I sit back on my boat Open sea I make a couple of sim boundary crossing before just losing all control and plowing forward in a straight line on to land and through peoples houses until it finally tells me I have been logged out. I relog in I am back where I was before just outside my harbour but no boat. I go in to fly mode to retrace my steps. And without a boat since then I have done the flying in a straight line uncontrollably before being logged out at each sim boundary. This outfit has zero scripts. Just 3 items of clothing and some hair and I can't reliably cross a boundary with or without a boat.

That is one of things I learnt first about sailing, that and not crossing corners. My script count today is just 4 and still having major problems. Since making my post I have crashed 4 times crossing sim borders without a boat. That is a 100% failure rate. Ironically the region is dire straits, seems apt lol I am using the MLCC yacht that is well thought of everywhere i have seen comments on it, so don't think the boat or my avatar can be the issue.

I bought a boat and got myself a parcel with water access to the blake sea a couple of months ago. Not once have I managed to sail there. I made it three quarters of the way once before crashing. Today it took me nearly 5 mins to get out of the harbour across the sim boundary and then struggled over a couple of sim crossings before crashing. I have tried to fly back to where i started thinking it possible i might find my yacht to get back in or at least retrieve it so as not to be littering the place and in a no scripted outfit I have crashed twice trying to cross boundaries. The problem just seems to get worse and worse. I can't be the only one suffering these problems? Is this something to do with pathfinding and Magnum servers or something? When will Sim crossings get better?

This thread has given me a great idea for an outfit to wear to house music clubs... :catmad:

It sounds like a router problem that i eventually fixed by changing the Multiplexing Method from VC based to LLC based in the modems setup. Worth a try to change that setting and see if it fixes the problem.

Well whilst the original post is wrong to say you need a full avatar pack, It is however good advice for creating a nice looking avatar, better than most you see on the grid and for not a lot of money. For an Alt I went to Secret Passions, got a avatar pack for about 300l$, the maths teacher AO from Daiz Papp 150l$. I then fiddle with the shape a bit... (legs seemed ridiculously long, or was too tall). Bought a Truth hair and an ADN outfit or two, HOC for some shoes, Devicious for the free outfit with nice boots and after a couple of days got a 400l$ skin from pink fuel. Full look not much more than 1000l$, hardly any time spent shopping and faffing about and.ended up with an avatar as good as if not better than most you see around the place and no scouring of laggy freebie places for relative gems you would soon ditch and not be seen dead in later anyway. Good enough for shopping in and not feeling embarassed in Coco, Icing, Graves or wherever you like to go shopping, anyway hehe

Me too. I could log in with my alt but not main avatar. I tried and retried. Couldn't find anything in reports... must have looked in wrong place. But 15 mins after initial problem I can log in and am back in world now.

Are theree any TVs, media viewers or other ways of playing shoutcast video streams like these in world? http://sonic-lux.de/home/projekte/software/shoutcast_tv_lists/web/index.html
